Do the following after you read:
Write an essay of around 1,000 words (though you can write as much more as you want) discussing your thoughts on what Jourdon Anderson defined as freedom? Do any of these connect with specific Constitutional rights that you are aware of? Other so-called rights, in your opinion? Do you agree? Would you add anything? Take away anything? Why?
